Hi All,
I will need to replace my rear wheel arch clear stickers when my 480 goes for its re-spray- the clear ones which I guess are there to protect the paint from stones thrown up by the fronts- any ideas about this, perhaps another manufacturer still makes something similar that can be trimmed to size?

some time ago I had same problem which I've solved with tinting film.
look for local window tinters I'm sure they'll be able to help. for example LLumar provides films for automotive and architectural applications. just if I remember well clear automotive film was too thin so I've used architectural one used for windows in buildings etc.

You can also leave them be. It saves a lot of hassle and they don't serve any practical purpose.
